Pros

Employee discount (40% most of the time, 60% some times) though there have been strict purchasing limits put on it within the last year. Pretty good health benefits and 401K returns. Most co workers are great.

Cons

Insane amount of turnover. Talent does not act expeditiously to fill roles or look internally for ambitious employees. People are passed over time and again for roles, or held back from promotions for absurd reasons. Employees are overworked, underpaid, undervalued and often gaslight into believing that if a mistake is made, it’s entirely their fault. If employees stay for more than two years, people are generally in awe. Culture of shaming and “cover your ass” mentality that trickles down from top tier leadership. Guessing this stems from the feeling of job insecurity no matter how well you’re performing. So much chaotic disorganization and lack of communication from all levels of leadership…which mostly affects middle management and below (long hours, no help, no compensation for going beyond role, etc.). Everyone is always spinning and no one steps up to take the helm to help provide direction or decision making. (See above). No on boarding/comprehensive training available. No career pathing, no consistency in organizational structures between departments/teams. Unrealistic expectations and timelines. Feedback isn’t heard or acted on. Both by leadership and by Talent. Random things are done to act like we’ve been heard, but it’s nothing that’s actually helpful. Example: complaints that employee wellness is suffering, Solution: Talent sends out 10 calendar invites for virtual magic shows during lunch time. Speaking of lunch time…good luck taking lunch breaks without someone getting upset about that. Lack of work/life balance, and unspoken expectation that you should never be the first to leave the office/sign off line. Expectation is 9 AM - 6 PM at the earliest…even without lunch.

Pros

• Strong brand recognition and a loyal customer base. • Employee discount and sample sales are excellent perks. • Talented and hardworking teams across many functions.

Cons

• Work-life balance is extremely challenging, particularly at the leadership level. Long hours and constant availability are often expected rather than the exception. • The culture can feel transactional and driven by a "got you" mentality rather than collaboration, coaching, and development. • Favoritism and nepotism are noticeable and can create inconsistent standards across teams and individuals. • Leadership accountability is lacking. Expectations are often high, but accountability is not always applied equally across the organization. • Decision-making can feel political, with perception carrying more weight than actual performance or results. • There is a significant gap between the company's external messaging and the internal employee experience. While the brand publicly champions women and female empowerment, many employees may find that the internal culture does not consistently reflect those values in practice. • Transparency, integrity, and trust can be lacking, which contributes to an environment where employees may feel unsupported or undervalued.
